THINK INSIDE THE BAG! ROASTED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, LEMON & OREGANO

ROASTED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, LEMON & OREGANO
I love potatoes prepared almost any way, but this is one savory dish. Gets along well with almost everything, but it speaks Greek to me. ITEMS IN BOLD APPEAR IN YOUR NEXT BAG.

3 lbs. red potatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-3 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place potatoes in a single layer in a 13 x 9 baking dish and pour olive oil over them
Add garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper and toss well to coat with the oil
Bake 15 minutes
Add the stock and bake 10 minutes more
Add lemon juice, toss and bake for 10-15 minutes more or until potatoes are cooked through
Preheat broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown
Sprinkle with fresh oregano and serve at once

Serves 4-6
